According to The Hollywood Reporter, David Henrie, from the Disney Channel series “Wizards of Waverly Place”, will be teaming up with the publishers Platinum Studios to develop the comic book series “The Weapon” into a feature film that he will star in.
“The Weapon” follows inventor and martial arts enthusiast Tommy Zhou who has invented an incredibly powerful mysterious device that an evil order will stop at nothing to get their hands on. Released in 2007, “Weapon” was created in 2007 by Platinum chairman and CEO Scott Mitchell Rosenberg.

What the heck. This guys not Asian. Zhou is supposed to be an Asian guy.
I’m a fan of Henrie’s ever since watching him on How I Met Your Mother, and Wizards of Waverly Place, but while I find Hollywood to be ridiculous for casting a white man over an Asian, I certainly feel more upset over Henrie accepting this role.
Sure, who doesn’t want to be an action hero…and/or become the next Shia Lebeouf…but seriously Henrie…you had to chose this? I can only feel that he’s killing his career in acting before it’s even started. I can only really hope this movie will prove me wrong, but in the back of mind all I can think of is another Justin Chatwin fail in Dragon Ball Evolution.
i love how he does act.
i love him he is so nice.oh my gosh.
oh my gosh david henry is very special ILOVE YOU DAVID HENRY xD
Nossa ele é muito lindo!!
Nossa ele é muito lindo!!
amo muito..?
I love watching white actors in white roles, but white actors playing asian roles with asian background makes NO FREAKING SENSE!
Taylor Lautner is not playing an Asian character. The character of Jacob Black is a Native American.
I really think the studio should change the title of the film and try to come up with their own story like the Matrix movies having influenced from Ghost in the Shell anime rather than taking the character come from a certain ethnic background. It’s not really fair if Mr. Henrie is playing an asian american superhero specifically of Chinese heritage when there are successful asian american actors in Hollywood (if not Hollywood, there are plenty overseas, and some are bilingual). If the Studio is concerned about making any profit, there have been successful films in the U.S. with asian actors like Enter the Dragon, The Last Emperor, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, Harold and Kumar, and recently Slumdog Millionaire. I don’t have anything against David Henrie, (and I’m sure he can act and be popular with teens), but taking a story that has Chinese family roots (Chinese Americans are very proud and have honor), turning it into a live action mma film and de-emphasizing the character’s Chinese heritage is just wrong and offensive.
